An Ol' Broad's Ramblings

A team of Mexican specialists discovered remnants of a 2,000-year-old Mayan palace at an archaeological site in the southeastern state of Chiapas.

“The discovery constitutes the first architectural evidence of such an early occupation of the ancient Mayan cities of the Upper Usumacinta basin,” in the Lacandona Jungle, the National Institute of Anthropology and History said in a statement Wednesday.

In a different time, like about 3 or 4 years ago, we’d probably be looking forward to going down and taking a gander at the discovery at some point. Now? Pfft! But it’s still pretty cool.

President Obama was ripped as “President Zero” after alarming government figures yesterday showed that not a single new job was created last month.

The president, who will unveil his much-anticipated jobs plan next week, found little to be optimistic about in the Labor Department report issued yesterday at the start of Labor Day weekend.

It showed that a nearly year-long growth in employment had abruptly ground to a halt in August.

The addition of 17,000 new jobs in private industry was wiped out by the loss of 17,000 government jobs.

It was the first time since 1945 that a monthly jobs report had a bottom line of zero.

The definition of insanity: Doing the same thing, over and over again, and expecting different results. Congratulations President Zero, you’ve proven you are mentally ill once again. We keep questioning his competency. I can only assume that he continues with such failed policies intentionally. Why else would he even consider more of the same? To purposefully destroy the economy of the country where you are suppose to be a leader smacks of treason, IMHO.
